Resolution 'fix' causes crash

Nowotny · 01-21-09, 02:01 PM

I decided to reinstall SH3 when I saw that GWX3 had been released. But since the last time I played it I bought a new monitor with a 1680x1050 resolution, and running 1024x768 looks absolutely horrid on that. Some googling later I found the d3d9.dll and cfg. It changes the resolution in the main menu just fine, but it makes the game crash right after the 'Not so long ago...' message is displayed. Removing the d3d9.dll fixes the crash, but obviously throws me back to 1024x768. Does anybody have a clue what might cause the d3d9.dll to force a crash? I'm running XP SP3 32bit, 8800GTS 512mb, Q6600.
